A woman connected to Robinson Cano’s charitable foundation was named in Biogenesis documents that are being investigated by Major League Baseball.

According to ESPN.com, the spokeswoman for Cano’s charity, Sonia Cruz, is listed as having been a client of Biogenesis, a Miami anti-aging clinic that was tied to the alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs by major leaguers.

ESPN’s sources said Cruz’s payment schedule was consistent with a weight-loss regimen, not PEDs.

Cano, the New York Yankees second baseman, denied knowing anything about Cruz’s connection with Biogenesis.

“It has nothing do with me. I’m just going to keep playing my game to help the team win,” Cano told ESPN.com in Tampa, Fla., where the Yankees are starting a series versus the Rays.

Cruz denied even being a client of Biogenesis, the report said.

“I met with a nurse who works for the clinic, but I met her outside the clinic just to talk to her about a diet program they have for women,” she said. “I never went through with it once she explained what it was. I thought it was just a diet/nutritional thing, but it was diet, nutrition, pills and stuff.”

TEIXEIRA TARGETING MAY 1

The chances of New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira being ready to play by May 1 are remote, according to the New York Post.

Teixeira, who strained his wrist in the World Baseball Classic last month, was expected to be sidelined for 8-10 weeks. He was optimistic he’d be ready by May 1 but still hasn’t been swinging a bat at all, so that seems unlikely.

“We are taking it slow,’’ Teixeira told the Post.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi added that Teixeira won’t be staying at the team’s minor-league facility in Tampa after a three-game series against the Rays.

WASHINGTON BUSTED

Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington was caught smoking in the dugout again on Sunday.

A brief shot of Washington puffing away on a cigarette in the dugout during the Rangers’ game against the Seattle Mariners was aired on the Fox broadcast. As you’d expect, smoking anything in the dugout is generally frowned upon by MLB higher-ups but as of Monday, there was no word if Washington would be fined for his actions.

It’s not the first time Washington has been spotted smoking in the dugout and was rumoured to be one of the reasons slugger Mark Teixeira wanted to leave the Rangers.

MYERS SHUT DOWN

Cleveland Indians starter Brett Myers won’t throw for at least two weeks, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Myers was put on the 15-day DL Sunday with a strained elbow ligament in his right arm but likely won’t come off it when he’s eligible. The Plain Dealer also reported that he has tendinitis in his elbow.

After spending last season in the bullpen, Myers was moved into the starting rotation this year. He went 0-3 with a 8.02 earned-run average in his first four starts.
